Mission Statement and Center staff

A Statement from the Director:

Welcome to our site.

As a core research facility at the UO, our mission is to provide resources to conduct MRI research to members of the UO and the surrounding community. We have an array of services and resources to help facilitate your research and we are very eager to support new research endeavors.

Our site will hopefully provide a wealth of information about our services as well as serve as a dynamic resource for information on MRI research through our wiki-style entries on acquisition, analysis and peripherals. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in learning more.

Cheers,

Fred and the LCNI team.
